Tixall Manor Farm, Tixall

Isolated and quiet, this large farmhouse is perfect for those that want to get away from it all. Lots of space inside and out. Also with an inside jacuzzi, perfect for those lazy days. Absolutely loved this place and recommend it to anyone wanting to recharge. Close by is a wonderful farm shop with amazing food and its also not far from Cannock Chase.

A very pleasant stay. The accommodation is spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Additionally the property stands alone with the nearest houses around 300 yards away and completely hidden by trees no danger of being disturbed. The views all round are impressive and there was an early morning show by a couple of hares every day. The host is very friendly and helpful.

Lovely house, set in a great location. Nice and peaceful. The perfect house for a big family gathering. Teresa was really helpful and we didnt have any issues at all.

Absolutely loved the farm the house is beautiful hot tub was amazing and kept clean on a daily basis. We fell in love with teresa she a lovely lady. 100 would stay again house had everything we needed and we had a full 360 of a storm from the house as the views from the manor are amazing all the way around. The other reviews saying it smelt of cow dung it really didnt. The farm was very clean and the air was fresh. Thank you for having us highly recommended

After reading other reviews we were a bit apprehensive about booking this cottage but we were all pleasantly surprised. Very spacious property set in amazing countryside with large gardens for the dogs and all the amenities nearby. 5 minutes to Cannock Chase, 3 minutes to Shugborough estate, 2 minutes to canal and river walks, 4 minutes to Essex beach, shops and pub. A brilliant location that offers everything to keen walkersexplorers etc. we would love to book again. Only one criticism is that the kitchen does need a new set of kitchen knives. I havent even mentioned the fun that was had in the games room and jacuzzi, if u book this cottage you wont regret it

A lovely house in a great location. Lots of room for guests, and the hot tub in the conservatory was excellent. Although it looked superficially clean on arrival, closer inspection revealed that the cleaners could have done a better job e.g. it didn't look like the under the microwave had been cleaned in a while and the tumble dryer condenser was also needed a good clean. A few of the double glazed windows had condensation inside the double glazing, and ought to be replaced soon. Despite these small issues it was a good house, and good value for money.

We had an amazing time at Tixall manor farm. The property was spacious enough for our party of 10, with plenty of plates, glasses, cutlery etc. The furniture and Beds were comfortable and we were very cosy in the house despite the cold temperatures outside. The hot tub was amazing and maintained throughout the stay. the property is a little rural, but very accessible and central to visiting many of the historical places in the heart of England. The owner was very helpful and was always eager to make our experience perfect, which it was. Thank you for a lovely stay

The property size was good and the out side view was good. Thats is the only 2 things was good for the property rest all was very bad. Like there is spider webs everywhere in the windows. The hoover what they have left to clean the house but when you try to use hoover if self stink horrible. There no any equipment was available to clean. Window was so mould and our stay was 6 day but on the 5th day we just left we had a enough. The entire house was smelling some kind of mould or something we dont know. Specially upstairs. The sofa was very very dusty and dirty.

The place was very nice and extremely clean. The area was peaceful and quiet, which made the stay even better. The owner was very polite and understanding. I really enjoyed my time there and hope to come back again soon. Thank you so much.

Absolutely spot on rental for my family, the kitchen is massive and the hot tub inside is brilliant. The owner popped in every day to sort the hot tub out, she is a warm and welcoming person. Would recommend this property, detached and set on its own ideal for a loud family like us.

Great location and big space for everyone to spread out and relax. Enjoyed seeing the calves being born in the adjacent field and exploring local walks and rides.

It was a fantastic stay during our holidays. Well responded for our call. Thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. Recommend to anyone.

We had a fab time at the house, which was lovely and spacious with everything we needed. The location is brilliant for young families, the garden space was great for entertaining children and the dog. Teresa is clearly very dedicated to keeping her guests tended to and would discreetly tend to the hot tub daily for us without us even knowing she was there. We will happily come back again one day!

We used Tixall Manor farm as a base to visit Alton Towers over the weekend which is approximately 40 minute drive. The house is spacious it has a large kitchen and two sitting rooms the hot tub was a big hit with the teenagers! The farm is in a quiet spot with large grounds and a good patio area with barbecue, seating etc. Would definitely recommend it and we will book for next year soon.

A lovely place to stay with plenty of room for the seven of us and three dogs. The hot tub was fantastic.

We had a wonderful time at Tixall Manor Farm and would consider a possible revisit in the future. Loved the location of the property and the size, the hot tub was a major highlight! We did just notice a few minor items missing in the kitchen only five wine glasses, no large saladmixing bowl or any small sharp knives. Also the smaller double bedroom upstairs and possibly the single bedroom downstairs? could do with a small bedside table with a lamp perhaps. These are just small things however and overall we were very very happy with the house.

Upon arriving at the farmhouse, you might notice a mild, temporary odor from the nearby cow dung during the first few hours. However, this quickly dissipates, allowing you to fully enjoy the serene atmosphere. The farmhouse is equipped with two TVs, but the internet connectivity in this rural area is quite poor, so streaming may not be feasible. That said, the rest of the experience more than makes up for it. The hot tub is a luxurious feature, perfect for relaxation. The bedrooms are comfortable and cozy, offering a restful night's sleep. The open spaces around the farmhouse are ideal for taking in the peaceful countryside, making it an excellent retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed the tranquility and charm of this place. Thank you!

Teresa was available for anything you would need, needed a jump start for the car and within minutes she had someone on the way to help.

Great for a 4 generation family with 3 dogs to relax and spend time together over a weekend. enclosed garden big enough for dogs to lap the house and tire themselves out. downstairs facilities for Grandma were perfect. The kitchen diner is large enough for all of us and the separate lounge is perfect for a bit of quiet time. We are hoping to visit again

Beautiful home, secluded, 3 min drive to the best farm shop Ive been to. My dogs loved it. Not feedback it advice when travelling there, use what three words instead of the postcode as this works more accurately.

A lovely farm house very spacious and clean. Had everything we required for our stay. The hot tub was a great plus as it was fully enclosed iniside conservatory so could use rain or shine. I would definitely recommend and will be looking to book again

Amazing place we are had good times there. Thanks

Perfect way to see in the new year we came as a group of 7 adults plus a dog. Plenty of space, everything we needed. Indoor hot tub was amazing the main draw for us booking and Teresa popped in regularly to keep it clean. The garden was fully enclosed and safe for the dog, he loved having a zoom around but it was very swampy due to heavy rain, obviously couldn't be helped but did mean we had to dry him off every time he came back in though! Little things we felt could be added for improvement towel hooks by the hot tub big towels a guidebookfolder with information like recycling details, good local walks, good local pubsrestaurants etc. could do with more kitchen bits as we struggled a little to cook and serve group meals bedside table and lamp in the downstairs room the rest have them now Otherwise our stay was spot on and we'd definitely go back perhaps a summer trip next time to make the most of the garden and outside facilities. Thanks

Arrangements for our arrival were great. And a huge cake and a Christmas tree started the holiday off well. We made a couple of adjustments to our planned sleeping arrangements because the second double room was really not a double as the bed could only be accessed from one side. Fortunately there were only six of us and a dog. The description of the bathroom and shower room were accurate, as in there was a shower over the bath but there was no shower curtain and only one of us was short enough to be able to duck under the shower to use it very carefully... So mornings involved a bit of negotiation over who spent how long in the toilet and there were only 6 of us. The bathrooms, and maybe some other areas, could do with a little cheering up. The owner had provided additional roasting tins but cooking a Christmas meal, or any meal, for six was really quite a challenge with the very few saucepans and utensils e.g. no blender, mixer, scales... so quite a lot of juggling and improvising were involved! The map was very helpful to locate us in the area but we couldn't find any information about local amenities shops, doctor, church, pub... nor could we find any information or instructions about using the Aga, how to stop the water when the washing machine flooded the utility room because of blocked drains, how to check the 'fuses' when we had a power cut, how to use the coffee machine for which coffee had kindly been left, along with tea bags and sugar... The hot tub was well maintained but was very hot a necessity I understand, especially as it was indoors but that didn't stop at least one of us using it each day. The beds were clean and fresh and comfortable and there were plenty of towels and tea towels for the 6 of us. The enormous leather sofas were great to sink into in front of the TVs but some instructions would have been helpful because us oldies had to wait for 'young' people to arrive to work that out. Both TV's had Amazon fire sticks. Everywhere was lovely and warm when we arrived but soon became too hot for us and although we quickly received advice when I sent a text it would have been lovely to have had some written instructions so that we could have adjusted it without bothering anybody. I would have done an even better job of cleaning before I left if there had been instructions on how to empty the vacuum cleaner and stop it smelling so awful. The dog enjoyed playing in the large garden but everywhere was too wet to explore much and it wasn't possible to walk along the road because there were no pavements. However the map and a bit of initiative soon found walks in Cannock Chase and other places very nearby. So there was plenty we loved and we rose to the challenges and had a good stay and a happy Christmas, but it could have been a little more relaxing and a bit less challenging...

Easy to find on sat nav , we were early so went to the fantastic Canal side, farm shop and caf for a cup of tea before heading up to the farmhouse. Long sweeping drive with plenty of parking space outside and a huge enclosed garden with bbq & furniture fantastic space and great for our dogs. Teresa had text us earlier in the day with the code to get in and instructions for the hot tub. We got in fine , had a little explore the photos are accurate and rooms spacious . We did find a few things that caused frustration though we arrived at 4 oclock, and the house was freezing I text Teresa and she called me back just immediately and talked me through switching the boiler on and the house was toasty on Saturdaymorning ! it would have been nice to switch the heating on for us , even timed for 2pm so that when we came in , it was warm and cosy . We appreciated the milk , cake and generous fruit bowl ! Sadly , there was no welcome back to help us with things like leaving instructions used linen and towels? what the WiFi code was, instructions for the rubbish and recycling the kitchen bin also had cardboard and paper left in it? ,The fact that the towels plentiful were located upstairs in a cupboard. We discovered this when we needed to use the downstairs bathroom and werent able to dry our hands as no hand towel had been left in the bathroom. A house that sleeps 9 and has a hot tub surely means fizz will be drunk at some point we were sad to find there are no fizz glasses? Fizz in a wine glass just doesnt feel right! The fridge in the kitchen is too small! in the room next to the kitchen there is a huge chest freezer our suggestion is to replace that with a large fridge freezer American style fridge . Sitting in the lounge we found the lighting very stark & bright so we moved one of the table lamps from upstairs so we could create a more subtle mood . There are no egg cups , no plug in the kitchen sink , no washing up bowl . The hot tub was great but very full so the bubbles disappeared and it overflowed a little? Fab & beautiful location & very peaceful . Great house but needs some TLC X Just tips to help ! A nice weekend beautiful location , peaceful , lovely sunrises over the fields Thank you

Great location, lovely farmhouse, clean and comfortable. Perfect for our dog walking holiday

Absolutely beautiful property, we loved our time here! The lady who owned the property was easily contactable and rang to let me know everything was ready for our arrival!

My friends and I had an amazing time during our stay. The place was fantastic, and it provided a truly relaxing atmosphere. What made our stay even more special was the owner's thoughtful gesture of preparing delicious cakes and fresh fruits for us to enjoy. It's clear that they went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We can't thank them enough for their hospitality.

The location was amazing and the outside services and facilities including the well maintained hot tub was great. However the accommodation failed in so many ways on basics! For example, broken blinds main bedroom, no plug in sink or washing up bowl provided and filthy washing up cloth left kitchen so not able to wash up. No wine glasses, no bottle opener, no cups that actually fitted under the coffee maker so we had to use ramekins. No bedside lamps at all all bedrooms, landing light doesnt work. I think the owners have tried to leave a solar torch hanging from the window. The washing machine when used to rinse and spin swimming costumes spewed water all over the floor despite us making sure the hose was installed correctly. Incidentally this was left hanging so luckily we thought wed noticed and attached it. On the latter we called the owner and I believe they eventually came out to sort. We didnt try and use it again.

Huge enclosed garden ideal for two energetic dogs with no gaps for them to escape Hot tub was lovely and clean and isn't overlooked by neighbours as there aren't any just cows. The furniture inside the house was comfortable. A really peaceful and relaxing rural setting. Never had any trouble having food delivered from Just Eat or finding the place as I think the house has it's own postcode. I was expecting an iron and ironing board but sadly there wasn't one despite the house otherwise being well equipped. Lots of towels are provided but if like me you you like really large ones you are best packing a few. Overall very pleased with my stay and will definitely book again.

Lovely, well equipped house, ideal for family and dogs . Hot tub is great would defo return

Perfect holiday. Thank you .

I can't recommend this accommodation highly enough. The instructions for entry were provided very clearly and 24 hours before we arrived. On arrival, we were welcomed with a bowl of fruit, a cake and some milk, and everything we needed was on hand. The house is lovely, with a huge lawn where dogs can be allowed to run around without fear of them wandering off as long as you remember to close the main gate first!. There are cattle in the surrounding fields, along with various wildlife, but there was no problem with them you leave them alone, they leave you alone. Inside, the house is really clean and neat there's nothing much in the way of ornamentation except for a couple of plants, so no need to worry about little fingers or waggy tails knocking things down and breaking them! The beds were okay, not all that comfy but not terrible either. The sofas were good, and there are two TVs with Netflix!, so there should be no whattowatch arguments. The hot tub was fab, inside the conservatory so it was under cover when it rained! It gets a bit warm in the conservatory on hot days, but you can leave the doors and windows open and get a nice breeze through. The kitchen is wellstocked with plenty of plates, glasses and cutlery. You have all mod cons to hand and an Aga! We didn't try this out, it was very warm while we were there. One small issue we encountered was that no instructions were provided with regard to bins, so we didn't know what day to put them out or what we were allowed to put in the green bin. The house is easy to find if you follow the instructions, it's just off a main road but you can't really hear the road from the house. It's a very quiet and relaxing location. Highly recommended!
